A Judicial Candidate’s qualifications, temperament, integrity, and endorsements. I have been endorsed by the Los Angeles Times, Steve Cooley, Former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, three Labor Unions, Los Angeles African American Women Political Action Committee, the California Peace Officers Association and eighteen other law enforcement endorsements, Mexican American Bar Association, twenty-five elected officials; many judicial officers, over 90 endorsements.
I am the Senior Deputy City Prosecutor for the cities of Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach. I have been employed as a prosecutor for twelve years. I am unique among my peers because prior to becoming a prosecutor, I was a civil litigator and defense attorney for ten years at one of the most respected and largest law firms in the country; Kirkland & Ellis LLP. I made partner at Kirkland and, among other responsibilities, was put in charge of the firm’s pro bono assistance program, managing a legal team that provided free legal services to those in need. Very few judicial candidates have that breadth of experience across the legal system.
